The figure for 2015 is probably more sustainable because the figure for 2014 has been healthy. Is it fair to say we will still have a deficit in 2014 and 2015? What does the Department expect the deficit to be by the end of 2014 and 2015? We have had very healthy growth in the economy, but there are still very high debt levels.
